Due to the networking limitations of a virtual conference format, we are compiling a list of senior researchers (faculty, postdocs, and industry researchers) who are willing to be contacted as potential mentors. This list will be shared with interested junior researchers (students, postbac researchers, research assistants, and postdocs) attending BBM2021 upon the start of the conference on June 10. Senior researchers can opt-in to this exchange on the registration/abstract submission forms.
Having a good relationship with your primary mentor or advisor is critical to performing your best in any research-based position. Secondary mentors outside of your primary research environment can help you improve your current work or help you prepare for specific career goals. Below please find a few selected resources:
